Dakota has recently completed field-testing of DyeLIF™, our new chlorinated DNAPL-specific optical screening tool. DyeLIF combines our mature LIF technology with delivery of an indicator dye below the sapphire window (think "dye shake test" on the fly). DyeLIF is compatible with CPT and other direct push systems and is now available as a service from Dakota. We'd like to thank the professionals listed as co-authors in the article for their significant contributions to DyeLIF's successful development!

When GeoTek Alaska performed its first UVOST screening on a former military site in the Aleutian Islands this spring, the tool performed flawlessly. Then again, when you're working in such a remote location, everything has to work flawlessly.Read more.

We recently launched our new website, and it's more than just a new look. We've added lots of new tools to help serve you better, such as more LIF information and more example data.Click hereto learn about some of the other new features.

Version 2.1 of our powerful LIF data viewing and acquisition OST software is now available. Check the download page for a complete list of new features and refinements. This is a free update for license holders and does not require a new key if installed on top of version 2.0.
